City boundaries are also important for gun owners to keep in mind. If you're a gun owner within city limits and want to sell your gun, you'd have to get a background check on your potential buyer. However, outside of city boundaries, but within the county, the ordinance would no longer apply.
How is the ordnance worded? Can 2 city residents hop in a car, drive just outside of town and complete the sale? Or, does their place of residence follow them wherever they go?

Missoula needs to get a new attorney that can read law, or the city leaders need to listen to their city attorney, one of the two.

Is there no penalty for violating state law?
Governing bodies and members should be penalized for passing this sort of unlawful law, be it state, federal or unconstitutional.

The only way it stops is for a counter lawsuit.
Just having an AG tell them to get in line with state law does not put the clamps to their continued illegality.

From January 26th news release: MISSOULA — Citing state law, Attorney General Tim Fox said Thursday Missoula's background check ordinance isn't legal.
"Plainly interpreted, the Montana Legislature has prohibited all forms of local government from exercising any regulatory power over the purchase, sale or transfer or firearms," he wrote.
Missoula City Attorney Jim Nugent said Fox's ruling came as no surprise.
“I don’t think anyone expected anything different,” Nugent said. “Persuant to the attorney general opinion, it [the ordinance] can’t be enforced.”
State law previously allowed cities to make their own laws around firearms sales, Fox continued, but a 1985 bill repealed that section of the Montana Code Annotated and replaced it with new language.
It placed a "general prohibition on ordinances from any local government aimed at sales and transfers from firearms."
